Linears: Tell me what I need to know before I buy

And it's considered a 4to1 ratio just like a radio max watts versus carrier dead key watts

 

But I don't care at all I don't run ##### whipped class a/b amps

 

I agree with the/those limitations a amp is good for only a certain amount of total watts just the same as a cb radio... overdrive any amp or cb radio and you'll blow that sucker up.... that simple

 

Less is actually better your only going to get what you get outta a cb radio or a amp/linear and that's it. Anything else is uncivilized! !!!!!!!

 

I can show you as many watts as you want to see. without a spectrum analyzer it means absolutely nothing.
even if someone has some semblance of a spectrum analyzer it's easy to set the Span in such a way as a clueless individual such as yourself would see a spike in the middle of the screen.
watts are not the answer to everything.

 

You should look at the amp specs on all the major cb radio amp builders like fat boy-Dave made x force and worldwide amps Texas star---- before you go talking about amps.... !!!!!

 

If you look At an average transistor curve you will notice the first 90% of the Gain is generated in the first two thirds of its power.
it's pretty much pointless to push any component beyond that point.

 

Rabbi, there's more to it than what you are getting at.

You're trying to explain things that don't matter.

For some reason you guys listen to others explain all these things but never seem to really seem to get around to actually learning about it by experimenting with it or buying the right equipment, learning how to use it and seeing what actually is going on.

 

you should look at transistor specs from Toshiba and ignore the redneck hillbillies In the Backwoods of Alabama that build those boxes in the garages of their mothers House who don't have a clue what they're doing except for copying someone else's design. they can make all the claims in the world but since they are using Toshiba components they could only give you what Toshiba guarantees.
the component manufacturer is the one that designs of the limitations into the component not the toothless redneck that SOlders those components into a board

 

if you are saying the saturation point of a transistor is pointless then you have no business in this conversation.
and bored silly would have no idea what I just said because he doesn't understand what he's talking about
